This is fantastic! Now I know exactly which manufacturer to avoid at all costs, AND they’ve made it harder for their competition to use this shitty system. Dear Ford, please keep patenting bad ideas.

Wow! That’s the skibidi combination I have on my luggage!

Imagine you run a restaurant, and a handful of people offer to pay to wash your dishes for you. Great deal right? But then you notice they start posting reviews of your food on Yelp, but only from the kitchen:

“Steak from the fridge was unseasoned and undercooked - 0/5”

“Chow mein was dry and stuck to the plate like it was sitting on someone else’s table for an hour - 1/5”

“By the time the soda got here, it was flat and fries the waitress dropped off were cold and soggy”

At what point do you decide maybe this isn’t actually in your best interest in the long run? How much do these rubes need to pay you in order to put up with their complications?

Does Spam need meat to be great? Feels like an easy swap to me!

My guess is you’re seeing the L2 chargers outside a grocery store or some such. Those charge so slowly you aren’t expected to stick around and look at them, you plug in and do your grocery shopping. If you’re looking to charge a significant amount, these are not it.

I’ve never seen a Level 3 charger with an advertisement. Hell, 90% of the time I have to scour the parking lot to find the charger because they’re usually hidden and unlabeled.

Bonus points, if you’re fortunate enough to have access to a power outlet where you park, you can usually do 99% of your charging from home, ad free.

First I’ve ever even heard of this!

PS5 Exclusive

That explains it! Still good on them for making a game that looks like a joy to play, instead of another played out take on Military Industrial Complex Propaganda 3! Hopefully this can help bring us back towards more games that are just good fun

I’m gonna need a second phone so I can use this to find my phone

Someone watched an old Bond film.

Die Another Day (2002)

You fucking watch yourself, alright? You’re on thin ice.

Really glad they redacted “US Political Party A” and “US Political Party B”. I for one am completely stumped as to which parties they could be referring to.

I see this list as “things women would like to have a detailed conversation about with their partner”.

Less “do you use weed” and more “am I going to have to sit here and listen to you mansplain the difference between sativa and indica for the next two hours”

It’s all fun and games until we find out the white dude running the startup used to be an Asian dude with a vendetta against Pierce Brosnan.

Pierce better start rethinking his annual trip to the ice palace.

Here’s about half a billion instances or so of harm to living beings every day.

Let alone the tens of billions living each day in conditions that would be considered “abuse” if I told you I kept my dog in a similar situation.

In theory? It’s all about traceability and consent, preferably with a third party auditing system. A good skull salesman should be able to provide you with documentation of the origin PR your skull and the consent obtained, as well as a contact at their third-party auditing firm. if the skull is fair trade, they should also be able to provide evidence that they are paying above market rates for their skull harvesters.

But $12 to $14 is <20%…

TIL! thanks for that!

If were being pedantic, if you purchase with a card your money actually goes to the bank, who transfers it to Visa, who transfers it to the grocer. The grocer restocks the item you purchased, transferring a portion of your money (less all the upstream overhead/fees) to the manufacturer of your purchased good.

If people stop buying products with a harmful supply chain, grocers stop stocking it. They’re not just putting processed deli meat on the shelves because they think meat bricks look cool.

User to me falls in a similar category to “client” or “customer”, none are derogatory, but they’re all very transactional. “Fan” or “gamer” feel more familiar, like a hotel “guest”. It’s a minor distinction, but it implies more of a two way relationship, and from personal experience, the language used by leadership tends to closely tie to how employees treat their customers.

Not sure who downvotes this, the meat industry is right up there with the oil and gas industry in terms of comic book level villainy. Like I get that people still rely on these products, but the industry is not your friend.
